Attached is a copy of the letter requesting the county to move all or a portion of the money for
construction of Phase "A". We are going to advertise this phase sometime in September 2005
- the plans and specifications are 99% complete. We have to take into consideration the time
it will take for the utilities to complete their relocations. Several of the utilities have indicated
that it will take until the end of November.
Thanks for your help.

Director of Public Works / Dallas County Public Works

Sandy Lake Road / ST 99-02 A&B
Major Capital Improvement Program
Dear Mr. Holzwarth:
In October 2000, the Sandy Lake Road (Denton Tap to SH 121) widening project was approved
for cost participation funding tkrough the Major Capital Development Fund. County funds in the
amount of $1,300,000 are available to the City in Program Year 2006. The funds are dedicated
solely to the construction of the roadway improvements.
The west section of Sandy Lake Road, from SH 121 to north Coppell Road, is mostly developed
with commercial/industrial facilities and there are no issues that adversely affect the construction
of that section of roadway. The east section of roadway, from north Coppell Road to Denton Tap,
is almost completely developed with residential subdivisions. There are numerous issues that
affect the construction, including tree removal, right-of-way acquisition, existing irrigation and
landscaping, and the relocation of four of the smaller Oncor electric transmission lines.
The City's design consultant, Teague Nail and Perkins, Inc., was instructed to prepare the
construction plans in two sections. Section "A" begins at SH 121 and ends at Freeport Parkway
and Section "B" begins at Freeport Parkway and ends at Denton Tap. This will allow the City to
start construction of Section "A" at an earlier date. This section of Sandy Lake Road provides
commercial traffic access to the commercial/industrial facilities located along Royal Lane, Sandy
Lake, and Freeport Parkway. Construction of Section "A" is scheduled to start in June 2004 and
has an estimated construction cost of $3,250,000. Construction of Section "B" is scheduled to
start in June 2007 and has an estimated construction cost of $4,000,000. Plans are currently in the
schematic design phase.
The City has met with David McSwain several times regarding this project and he is aware that
we intend to construct the project in two sections. The project scope items for both sections of
the roadway have been submitted to him. Since the Sandy Lake Road project was submitted to
the County as one project, we are requesting consideration of the County moving all or a portion
of the $1,300,000 forward for the City's use on the construction of Section "A". We are available
to discuss any options for the funding at your convenience.
Your consideration of this matter is appreciated. Should you have any questions or need any
additional information, please contact me at 972-304-7019.
Sincerely,
CIP Qo~rdinator
